Welcome to the Otto H. York Department of Chemical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Engineering at NJIT.  We are firmly committed to providing all students, both undergraduate and graduate, with an outstanding education that prepares them for successful careers in both industry and academia upon graduation.  We have a long tradition of educating students in a productive and friendly environment. 

Our undergraduate students are taught in laboratory and classroom settings in generally small sections allowing for close interaction with faculty.  Several of our professors and instructors have won NJIT and national teaching awards. Our undergraduates are exposed to industry via co-operative work programs, on-campus talks by company representatives, and work on projects about real-world problems.  The students can also participate in current laboratory and computational research with our faculty.  Their findings are presented at local, national, and international meetings, as well as published in technical journals.  A number of our undergraduates have won research awards in nation-wide competitions. 

Our masters and doctoral graduate students take courses covering state-of-the-art topics, and work on cutting-edge research topics.  They are advised by faculty who enjoy national and international recognition for their research accomplishments. 

On this website, you will find information about all aspects of the department, including our undergraduate and graduate programs, our faculty and their research interests, the award winning student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and people to contact if you need further information. Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional help. We hope to see you in the future at NJIT!
